I have no info on what he banned or blocked. All I am saying is if someone wants a KKK platform or a white hate platform then so be it. As long as they are not harming anyone physically or financially it is fair game. We can't have this now for some reason but I grew up in a time when it was allowed. Nothing bad happened unlike today. The more things are banned the more bad thing happen. Maybe stop banning things? Just a suggestion from personal experience.

You are quite deluded if you think you grew up in a time that allowed unlimited hate speech on major media platforms.

  I grew up in a time when David Duke was allowed to speak on campuses. He is still a joke just like he was then. You are deluded being there was no major media platforms back then. Major media platforms didn't exist outside of antenna TV.

    > I grew up in a time when David Duke was allowed to speak on campuses. College campuses are not major or important platforms. > Major media platforms didn't exist outside of antenna TV. Cable news has been huge and important for 40 years. Before that (and today), there are thousands of widely-circulated publications with dissenting opinions that reach millions of people. There's no reasonable argument that information is censored since it became essentially free to publish on the web in the 90s.

      Almost nobody had cable TV in the early 80's. I grew up during this period but believe what you want. Cable TV was barely off the ground. HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, but outside of that it was nothing. No reach. Fast forward to the 90's when hate groups were allowed on the internet. No race riots, burning of cities. That only happened when things started getting banned. And the violence was not from the right. It was the left. They were the ones who looted and burned but again, believe what you want to believe. If you believe it then it happened. Right wingers burned and looted Walmarts..meh.
